Here's how it happened that
card games are played
"according to Hoyle" and
boxing is conducted by the
"Queensberry rules."
by Jerry Klein
ail to play canasta
according to Hoyle some
night and you're liable to
be requested to step outside
and fight like the Marquis
of Queensberry. But maybe
you can soothe your partner
by telling him all about
those oft-quoted authorities
on sport, Hoyle and Queens
berry. They really did exist,
you know.
John Sholto Douglas be
came the 8th Marquis of
Queensberry at the age of
14, in 1858, when his father
was killed while hunting
rabbits. The first thing the
young nobleman did was put
in a five-year hitch in the
Royal Navy, which may well
be where he learned to use
his fists so well.
At any rate, the young
marquis soon became known
as the "finest amateur boxer
of his time." But boxing had
fallen into disrepute as a
brutal, bare -knuckled sport
in which blood flowed freely.
Determined to make box
ing "respectable," the Mar
quis of Queensberry helped
found the Amateur Athletic
Club to foster clean com
petition. And in the follow
ing year, 1867, he drew up
the famous Queensberry
rules of boxing, which were
soon adopted in both Britain
and the United States.
Boxing began to be al
most a genteel sport. In af
fairs of honor, it substituted
nicely for dueling, abolished
some years ' earlier. Even
Lord Byron, the gentle poet,
took lessons in the manly
art of self-defense.
The Marquis of Queens
berry apparently was a
heavyweight. Visiting Cali
fornia in the Wild West
days, he entered a frontier
cafe dressed in the style of
English nobility from silk
hat to shiny boots.
In came "a gigantic cow
boy" who "cast a menacing
look around him," cursed
Queensberry and his pol
ished boots, and spat on
them. Calmly, the marquis
lifted a handkerchief from
the cowboy's breast pocket,
bent down, wiped his boots,
and carefully replaced the
handkerchief.
The cowpuncher roared
and rushed at Queensberry.
The short scuffle ended with
the Westerner on the floor
and the nobleman "leaning
nonchalantly on the bar,
immaculate as on his first
entrance."
Edmond Hoyle never ran
such risks and lived to be
97. For his first three score
years and ten, Hoyle prac
ticed law in London. Then
he apparently became less
interested in the law than in
a card game called whist.
So absorbed was Hoyle in
- the intricacies of this game
that in 1742 he published a
"Short Treatise on the Game
of Whist" that proved so
popular there were five edi
tions in a year.
Soon Hoyle was offering
to sell for a guinea the
secret of his "artificial mem
ory which does- not take
your attention off your
game." This helped the
reader "to play any hand
well with moral certainty."
Later he published "An
Essay Towards Making the
Doctrine of Chances Easy
to Those Who Understand
Vulgar Arithmetick Only"
in short, a book on bet
ting and gambling odds.
Delighted at the demand
for such instruction, Hoyle
wrote rules for other games:
chess, backgammon, piquet,
quadrille, and brag.
Even after Hoyle's death
in 1769, rules for playing
various games continued to
be printed under his name.
A 1796 edition, for example,
gave regulations for playing
billiards and tennis "ac
cording to Hoyle." And dur
ing the 19th Century Amer-

Hoyle as the authority on
many games he'd never
even heard of.
From the time of Hoyle,
whist continued to gain in
popularity until the intro
duction of bridge. Bridge,
of course, gave way to
canasta which leads us
back to fighting according
to the Queensberry rules.
